Peeing in Public
Performance
November 20, 2021, 3:00 PM


Kevin Space is happy to host Peeing in Public, a performance by Thomas Geiger. Peeing in Public reflects on the need of peeing and the precarious situations that occur when no toilet is around and we are forced to improvise in public. The question of when, where and how to pee has been a preoccupation for all of us and, most importantly, since long ago. Together with his invited guests Rembrandt van Rijn, Samantha Fountain, George Jennings, Brae Carns, Ira Gessel, David Busch, Greg Kotis, Xi Jinping, and Emperor Vespasian, Thomas Geiger roams through the centuries and elaborates on the economical, (gender-)political, technological, and sexual dimensions of peeing in public.

Duration: approx. 30 min
Peformance in German language

The performance takes place at Volkertmarkt that provides the ideal context with its more or less sanitary facilities.
